2 Pocket Folders

Classification folders are similar to regular file folders or manila folders, but they have several additional built in dividers which allow you to sort and organize your papers into different sections without having to use different files.  This allows you both to save filing space, use fewer folders, and keep your organization simpler.

Classification folders are excellent for anyone who has documentation which is all related to a single topic but which also has several distinct niches within them.  An example would be a legal office, which may have many clients who each have several areas of work.  Classification folders will allow them to keep all the client’s papers in the same place but to classify them into the separate areas, allowing easy access whenever a specific file is required.

You can buy classification folders at most major online stationary retailers and many other businesses as well.  They come with many different options and in several different styles.  The most basic is just like a manila folder which simply opens and does not have any joined sides, but includes two or three dividers in the middle. The problem with these kinds of folders is that it’s quite easy for things to fall out, which can mean a big problem for your files.

Other folders have closed sides and are much more reliable in terms of holding their contents in.  Classification folders in this style often have several dividers and will sometimes includes some kind of fasteners as well, allowing you to be doubly sure that your papers won’t fall or get mixed up.  Folders can be made of relatively thin card, and go up to quite heavy weights like pressboard folders.  You can get classification folders with anywhere up to 10 dividers, and if you need any more than that you should probably consider expanding file folders, as the amount of paperwork you need to put in will probably be too much for a single file.
